                             CANCEROUS DEBT

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, the President's own Democrat co-chair of the 
debt commission, Erskine Bowles, said ``This debt is like a cancer.'' 
And he's right.
  This debt cancer is spreading rapidly. Democrat spending is out of 
control and adding to the already staggering deficit. House Democrats 
canceled the 2011 budget and failed to propose and pass an annual 
budget resolution for the first time since 1974.
  More and more tax dollars are being wasted. Job creation in the 
private sector remains at a virtual standstill. A trillion dollars was 
spent on the President's stimulus, and there are still more than 14 
million people out of work.
  This cancerous debt, a symptom of the failed stimulus and increasing 
government control, needs to be stopped immediately. Washington needs 
to start letting taxpayers spend their own money and start putting 
Americans back to work.
